F.The most dangerous sport
Surfing is one of the fastest developing sports in the world today. It used to be practiced by the ancient Polynesians, but since the 1960s anyone and everyone can go surfing.
21.________
Surfing is more of a way of life for some people than simply a sport, and many spend their time travelling around the planet in search of the perfect wave. Typically, the average surfer is a relaxed type of person: They say it’s something about the art of catching waves and being out in the elements that makes you feel very relaxed. Surfers greet each other by saying “Howzit?” (a bit like “How’s it going?”) and sometimes call each other “bru” or “brah” from the Hawaiian word for brother, “braddah”. British surfers travel in VW camper vans and look a bit like hippies.
22.________
Anywhere that has a coastline with big waves is home to surfers. Half of Australia’s coastline is surfable so there are lots of Australian surfers. Hawaii is where the sport was invented and the current champion is Hawaiian Sunny Garcia. A lot of surfers also come from California and New Zealand. There are even surfers in the UK who hang out on the southwest coast where the Atlantic waves hit the shore.
23.________
Get a board. Most surfers start on short boards. Long boards and guns are only for experienced surfers catching huge waves. You also have to be a very strong swimmer: being able to swim at least 100 meters, and 25 meters underwater is required.
